This is a review for the Director's Cut version of the game.

I was brought in from Mandalore's video, well after the fact, which gave me time to both digest the information, appreciate it, and promptly forget enough that the game was still mostly a surprise. Credit where credit is due, Mandalore did a fantastic job both hyping up the game AND not spoiling some of the game's best surprises, which is true to his usual MO but nonetheless something worth praising.

No One Lives Under The Lighthouse is a fantastic game. It is short, sweet and to the point. By now, there is an entire genre of cheap, indie horror game that relies on menial tasks as a setup for scary scenarios, but this is in my mind the only game that took this concept and actually elevated it to something truly impressive, because the menial tasks aren't actually being delivered to you as a real form of repetition but as a vehicle for something greater.

If you want to be surprised and enjoy a strange, cryptic but merciful experience, play this game. If you want a more detailed analysis of what's going on with it, I recommend Mandaloregaming's video. Of note is that the original version is also packaged in as an opt-in beta and is worth a look if you want a glimpse into how games evolve during development.

No clue what to do next.
